traces 70s economic/political turning point/s as requested by Leo

'' I am indeed very interested ... as part of Sam Gindin's and my
attempt to trace the 'turning point' in American economic policy 
through the 1970s.... let us know what you find there that may be
important to us.'' Leo Panitch

So  See my book 
CRISIS:IN THE WORLD ECONOMY written 1976-78, published 1980 [366 pp]
the most thorough and best book/statement then and mostly since, if I
may im/modestly say so myself. 
Same analysis and more as Bob Brenner two decades later
        
        also see 1986 sequel: Is the Reagan Recovery  real or the Calm
        before the Storm?
        [It is/was - of  1989-1992 recession, policies & 
        subsequent ''recovery'' ] 

BOOK CHPT 2: THE NEW ECONOMIC CRISIS IN THE WEST 
[1967 onwards and 1978 forecast  of 1979-82 recession and policy that will
be adopted, entirely confirmed by subsequent events] -
alas, nobody paid  even the least attention
